Good Morning. And a good morning it is. The sun is shinning, you can sit outside, no bloodsucking parasites, traffic on highway 522 is down to a minimum, and the temperature is just perfect. I would say it is about the nicest day of the year, right here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Later on in the day though, some clouds will roll in, and tomorrow things start to change with rain entering into the picture, and … the temperatures will start to drop. But we can’t complain, that’s for sure, or shouldn’t complain. On another note, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. My wife and I did, with our son and his fiancé dropping by after not seeing them for two years, because of this virus. We had a barbecue and sat outside for most of the day enjoying each other’s company. Couldn’t have been better. Yesterday, my wife and I put our boat and trailer to bed for winter, and in between all that, she made us a turkey dinner. I have to say, it sure was tasty. I am looking forward to leftovers tonight for supper. She is one fantastic cook, let me tell ya. Today I will close up the cottage and shower house, getting them ready for winter. There are also a few things that has to be brought in out of the cold. My wife is going to do some raking as the leaves are mostly down now. I hate to see them go this year as the colours are and were amazing. But then again, they always are, in our area. I also still have to plant our garlic for next summer, so I will get at that once my vegetable garden drys out a touch. With this sunshine it won’t take long. But then again, it is supposed to rain tomorrow. Hmm. With that I am off for a piece of toast and will then get to work. Best take advantage of this nice weather. Take care and stay safe. I see about 83 % of our population here in Canada is now vaccinated. So if we don’t get a new variant, I am thinking, things will be back to somewhat normal next year. Time will tell. Those that hasn’t been vaccinated, I feel for them, but as they keep on saying, it’s their body. Anyway, have a great day. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy, wet morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. It’s wet, but the temperature is still pretty nice, sitting at 16.2 C | 61.16 F. I see a mostly cool weather in the west compared to mild weather in the East pretty well right through till a week before Halloween. Which is okay with my wife and I, as we still have some outside work that needs to be done. Like closing up our cottage and putting our boat to bed for the winter. I am thinking I will put the boat away tomorrow as we are supposed to have some sunshine. Just in time for Thanksgiving. Oh! Happy Thanksgiving. Highway 522 is a wee bit busy as with the nice weather people are taking advantage of it. Which is as it should be. Yesterday I moved some wood out of our bush by the house here to where it can dry throughout the winter. Most is pine I have piled up there, but I did have some White Birch from a tree I had to take down earlier in the year. It is nice burning and has a really nice scent. We like it a lot. So now it will be where it is dry, and we will have it for next year. The pine I don’t really care about, but I do burn it in my woodworking shop stove. The stove we have in there burns anything and everything, LOL. Today, my wife and I are going to be taking it a bit easy. We have had our son and his fiancé come for a visit, and they now have left. We had a real nice time, and it was sure nice to see them after not seeing them for two years or more because of this virus. Being that all of us are vaccinated with both doses, we decided to take a chance. Just in time for Thanksgiving. With that I am off for some blueberry pancakes my lovely wife is making me and will then see what the day has in store, other than what we have planned. A person can plan their day, but they can’t plan the results. Take care and stay safe. GW.
